Calgary-based fintech Helcim has launched a new product designed to meet the real-world needs of small and growing businesses: the Helcim Smart Terminal.
More than just a sleek payment device, the Smart Terminal represents a reimagined point-of-sale experience tailored for modern merchants—whether they’re serving customers behind the counter, in the field, or at pop-ups and markets.
The terminal is fast, portable, and packed with features to help owners accept payments, manage operations, and stay connected wherever business takes them.
“We didn’t want to just make a better payment device—we wanted a better experience for the people behind the counter,” said Helcim Founder and CEO Nic Beique. “This terminal is faster, smarter, and built with intention. Every feature reflects merchant feedback. And like everything at Helcim, it comes with no long-term contracts or surprise fees.”
The Android-based device features a vibrant 6.7-inch HD+ touchscreen, an octa-core processor for rapid transaction speeds, built-in Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, and a long-lasting battery capable of powering through 12-hour shifts. It also includes a high-speed receipt printer and seamless access to Helcim’s full suite of business tools—from invoicing and inventory management to customer profiles and its proprietary Fee Saver technology.
Early users are already praising its simplicity and speed. “The new Helcim Smart Terminal is simple to use and very fast,” said Peter, owner of Glen Cove Beer.
In keeping with its commitment to transparent pricing, Helcim is offering the device with no leases, lock-ins, or early termination fees. Businesses can purchase it outright or opt for monthly payments starting at USD $32 (CAD $39) over 12 months—ensuring merchants retain full ownership of their hardware.
With the launch, Helcim continues to position itself as a merchant-first alternative in the payments industry—offering tools designed not just for transactions, but for building resilient, growing businesses.
The Helcim Smart Terminal is now available and ready to ship.
